IT is always gratifying to connect valued contacts in order to serve a common cause. A win-win.

IN this regard, when Tom Trento of TrentoVision(working in concert with Breitbart tv) reached out for this blogger’s assistance, relative to strategic imperatives for Israel – as worldwide frothing at the mouthcontinues unabated because Israel dares to defend its citizens against a blitzkrieg of relentless missile attacks – it became a top priority to give a shout out to Dr. Martin Sherman. He is, simply put, the “expert among experts” within Israel’s strategic policy making arena. This site dares anyone to counter said (professional) assessment.

CONSEQUENTLY, Dr. Martin Sherman is a featured expert at this site and he is well-known to an increasingly world-wide readership. Sans a scintilla of a doubt he is considered Israel’s leading “intellectual warrior”, generally an oxymoron in terminology. This is the case because a preponderance of Israel’s so-called “intelligentsia” – western academics and civil society elitists are similarly infected – are steeped in moral relativism and leftist groupthink. In this regard, they are mentally incapable of seeing (strategically) from there to here.

WITHOUT further ado, at Breitbart tv, re-presenting Dr. Martin Sherman…

OPERATION PROTECTIVE EDGE-DR. MARTIN SHERMAN’S STRATEGIC POLICY VIDEO INTERVIEW: ON today’s show, Jew-haters from all around the world assemble to preach their “religion of love”, and sing, from “the river to the sea”, as a marching song to destroy Israel….Dr. Martin Sherman explains why the Israeli military policy is illogical and irresponsible. Tom Trento has some words of advice for Prime Minister Netanyahu.The United West and Center for Security Policy present “Operation Protective Edge – An Inside Look: Destroy HAMAS.”

MOST intrinsically, the following underlying fault-lines must be internalized by Israel’s leaders, in order for them to finally throw off the (besieged-like) albatross around their collective necks:

ALBATROSS ONE:

A core component within the IDF’s military doctrine (though mostly unknown outside its borders) is “havlaga” – ההבלגה‎ – aka “restraint is strength”. It was designed by none other than Prof Asa Kasher, a leftist professor of philosophy and ethics!

NOW, as any rational high schooler can discern, the restraint of ones soldiers translates into the inability to attain victory. In other words, if strength is derived from “holding ones fire”, is it even conceivable to subdue ones enemy? In effect, how does the IDF break the enemy’s will, thus, forcing them to “agree” to surrender? Essentially, this ill conceived, non-strategic doctrine (even though part of the IDF’s core military code) is why the enemy keeps rearing its head.

CONCOMITANTLY, leave it to Israel’s foremost “intellectual warrior” to decimate what has become a core component of Israel’s “fog of war” via his Jerusalem Post column: The Ruinous results of restraint.

IN a very tangible realm, as is said in Israel, sach ha’kol, at the end of it all, leftist Orwellian concepts (aka “the conceptzia”) mandate a post-mortem within Israel’s civil society venues. As a result of said burying, it will free up political leaders to enact long overdue Zionist-focused strategic policy imperatives. Naturally, those tasked to monitor (and develop) IDF military precepts will have no other option, but to reverse the twisted, victory-averse doctrine of “havlaga”. Significantly, all of the above will finally free Israel’s leaders from their mental shackles and allow them to attain a clearly defined outcome; a surrender (white flag, if you will) from whichever enemy dares to raise its sword against the Jewish nation of Israel.

ALAS, it is the left’s poisonous fruits which aid in fueling the conflict, gifting unabated oxygen to Israel’s foes. Effectively, the “gift that keeps giving”, by restraining the hands of the leadership and tying them into constrictive knots.

INHERENTLY, either the leadership buries the left’s doctrines or their policies will bury the nation. A sustainable middle ground does not exist, when it comes to squashing the will of those hell bent on a genocidal war. Simple as that.

seems to me Israel & Egypt only state that are maintaining their extremist/terrorist.& borders. Jordan needs Israels help on borders. all other nations are having mild to extreme problems in 1 or the other. Iraq being the worse. in the US the borders are Down.
